Wilsonville to Phoenix, ORE


We got away in a light rain today, clearing by noon. We passed Harrisburg where we had a great time in the spring at Camp Monaco, and Cottage Grove where we drove through 2 covered bridges and saw 6 more. Here's a picture of one we went through with the tow connectors still on the car. Note the high windows on the sides. Wood bridges are less expensive to build and last well when maintained. Nice steady driving day. Oregon is so green and filled with trees, just like B.C. and lovely fall colors now. We climbed up and down the mountains and arrived in Phoenix, below Medford by 3 p.m. Ron said, I'll buy you dinner and you can buy breakfast - a treat for our 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow. While we were having dinner at the Iron Skillet at the large Petro Truck stop beside the Peartree RV Park we're at, the couple beside us were celebrating their return home after a 2 week vacation when their kids reno-ed their house as a present for their 60th anniversary. The kids said they'd just updated it by about 40 years. So they celebrated with their strawberry Sunday and we had chocolate.
